Default Summit EFI tuning DVD

Hey, has anyone seen or heard anything on that Summit DVD tuning. It's selling for a reasonable price. I've bought a book but additional tools/learning applications are helpful...
thoughts???

Ive seen it....id say its a useful tool and was fairly well done. I sold mine after using it but in my honest opinion you can learn just as much searching through the tuning questions on here, using the internet as a tool to answer any tuning questions you may have, taking your time and diving into it! I thought it was a little procey for what you get but if I find a nickel I huddle around it :i

Its a GREAT video, more so if you are using HP tuners, because that's what he is using. It is almost a step by step how to tune your car, by one of the best if not the best tuner out there. Plus it comes with some nice injector tables when you change injectors you have all the correct info right there. Also look up some of his books the guy has a lot of good info out there.

The DVD is OK if you are tuning on a load bearing dyno. For the average, non-shop owner, it does an OK job. Street tuning is not covered and is almost discouraged. The book by Masport has some real world information and examples plus better explanations of things. The injector data is the best part of the DVD.

I have both the book listed (MASport) and DVD (Calibrated Success) and was very happy with both. They each cover slightly different data, and I found the DVD presented itself better on some things (though that might just be my learning style). I like the case studies in the book however.

The injector tables that accompany the DVD are GREAT if you have aftermarket injectors however; made a big difference in my cars part throttle behavior.
